The rock
Edit SpotAbout
this is a very fun right which is short but powerfull and can hold a large swell.
Atmosphere:
heavy localism, very very shallow water with sharp reef. i hit it and cut my nose open. fun wave though, usually chilly temps in the summer. bring a wetsuit.
Additional Info:
you must park at zippers and walk to the cliff. it is a pointbreak so paddle a little before you get to the initial spot.
